Would being vague about it overall make it slightly more believable? Like you lose the weight of "Don't trust your boss, he's after me", but you do play on the rumours of the PRT and Protectorate leaking intel like a sieve. Edit to finish cuz I didn't realize enter was send: My vote ended up going to Unmask because I believe both Lily and Sabah are trustworthy, but I suppose we'll see. That said, I would have picked a choice where Jason would unmask but mention keeping this secret even or especially from her co-workers and boss because of the risk of moles and/or thinkers and the rumours of the terrible information security.

I say unmask and mention Calvert. Without inside help there's really no way to go after him without shit going down hard. Also I want kinky shower threesome
RanmaChaos
I voted to stay masked. Unmasking doesnt just effect Jason, but Taylor and maybe Vicky too.

As a Chaos Mage, wouldn't Jason mere existence mess with Dinah's numbers and Coil's timeline?
Doug Bowman
Keeping his own mask on is important. Any blowback would end with Parian that way. Especially since he doesn't know what he's dealing with.
UncrownedKing
Yeah, it's probably better to figure out what resources he has first before trying to bring in someone so close to him. But it's still better to establish some trust so I'm fine with unmasking. At the very least we should figure out if any other member of the Protectorate or Wards already label as enemies.
R Brown
Torn between telling them and waiting. Feels off to not at least consult with Taylor, let alone the others.
GalacticTNT
I agree, Coil’s power is just so dangerous, especially if you don’t know about it. This is EXTREMELY true if he has Dinah to bounce his questions off, giving him absolute certainty in his decisions and the feelings and decisions of others.
UncrownedKing
The problem with mentioning Calvert before you're ready to take him on is you risk tipping him off in another timeline. On the other hand, Fletchette is a full member of the Protectorate instead of just a Ward. If she can be convinced, she would know what steps to take to root him out through official channels. As it stands, as an independent team with no real ties to the PRT, they don't have a lot of options to confront him on their own. At best they could gather evidence and present it to another department. Well, they could assassinate him but that's extreme for what little info they have. Guess we should also keep in mind we did get blindsided by him even being PRT director so it's possible his position gave him access to other unaccounted for resources. Don't remember if there was a reason given for Vicky and Dean not being together, but given Dean's power source, it's possible he's working for/with Calvert.
